Lila’s POV Enzo stared at me with his mouth hanging open. “What?” He asked, releasing his hold on me. I had never seen him look so flustered before. But Enzo genuinely looked as if he didn’t know what to say. He looked completely panicked and it made my self-esteem damper a little. I was under
By the end of the dance, Connie kissed Tyler gently on the lips before turning to the rest of us and throwing her hands in the air in celebration. Most everybody stood to their feet to congratulate them and dance to the now upbeat music. I was impressed that Lila only threw up once during this ent
Lila’s POV I stood in my childhood room with my childhood and even adulthood best friend, Brianna, sitting curled up on my bed hugging a fluffy pillow close to her chest. I stared at myself in the mirror, and I couldn’t believe how much older I looked. I was no longer a child; I looked a lot lik
“This baby drains a lot of energy from me,” I sighed. “I’m not sure what her excuse is.” “You woke me up early,” Bri complained, folding her arms across her chest. “Get upstairs and into bed,” Dee ordered. “Both of you. I’ll have Maisy bring up some tea.” “Thanks, Dee,” I said, hugging her bef

“Follow us in your car,” I told them, looking up at Bastien who nodded. Without another word, I turned and hurried onto the ambulance, taking my seat beside Lila’s gurney. …… Lila’s POV It felt like I was weightless, or like I was flying. I couldn’t feel my body. Maybe it was just completely
Lila’s POV When the nurse brought in my two healthy baby boys, my entire heart swelled. I couldn’t believe I was a mom; I couldn’t believe I was looking at my babies. They were so tiny, and one was wrapped in a green blanket and the other was wrapped in a blue one. “I just gave them a bottle and
“Did you hear?” Bri asked, a hint of a smile on her lips. “That my son was kissing your daughter?” I asked, raising my eyebrows as I looked down at a very red-faced Kayla. Bri nodded, and then we both glanced at Asher who was staring at Kayla with a pained expression on his face. Awe, my littl

Lila’s POV “Today marks a new beginning. It is a chance to redevelop ourselves and tell the universe the kind of people we want to be. Today marks our many successes and our many failures. A chance for us to screw up and then redeem ourselves. A chance for us to fall in love all over again. Today
I smiled at my toddler as I placed him in his highchair. “Pancakes it is,” I said fondly as I went over to the freezer and pulled out the pack of frozen mini pancakes. I put a few on a plate and popped them into the microwave. After I sent the timer, I made both Asher and Coope a juice cup and I
Lila’s POV 2 years later Asher woke me up bright and early as he did every morning. He’s lucky I love him so much. Enzo wasn’t in bed when I woke up, which made me worried for about 2 seconds before I remembered that he told me he had to clean up his stuff from the arena that morning. It was
She held up a light blue bear with a polka dot bow tie. This was the only toy that could get Cooper to sleep. “Oh, goddess,” I said with my face warming. If I couldn’t even remember my son’s bear, how was I going to do motherhood? Enzo took the bear from my mother and then went to pick up the
Lila’s POV “They are both Volana wolves?” I whispered, staring at the pups. My mother and Diana brought me the twins so that I could see for myself. When I was met with two pairs of violet eyes and two pairs of blue eyes, my heart swelled with joy. Tears instantly filled my eyes as I held my two
